Once again Turkey proves to be the No. 1 culprit of Human Rights violations, with the EU becoming an accomplice because these violations are taking place in the EU. The population of a whole city (Famagusta) has been uprooted, the town looted and the people not allowed to return, despite the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights. The EU claims that it respects Human Rights but only when it suits it!

they are places where different cultures are thrown together. What culture they are is a distraction: that they have different cultures, is the point.

We have seen similar phenomenon in (not formally recognised for political reason) in Northern Island (low black or muslim population) in Texas (with Mexican), with the native Indians in the US, take your pick in China, Sri lanka, thailand, etc.

Just about any place that has people who believe different things.

Sadly it is comments like yours that add to such ethnic tensions. But perhaps that was your purpose.

It is high time that we actually imagine world without any boundaries. We should let colour,creed,religon,country subdue the much important thing "humanity".

It is really disheartning to become aware of the fact that as much as 22% of overall population can be IDPs. US is equally responsible as much as the governments(if at all their is any) of these country. Violating human rights of civilian of other countries, in the name of terrorism cleansing if unjustified. Everyone is aware that invading Iraq was more than just clipping the wings of Saddam.
